Valentine M&M Oatmeal Cookies

Surprise your sweetie this Valentine’s Day with something to satisfy their sweet tooth. Show your love with homemade Valentine M&M Oatmeal Cookies.

These sweet treats are the perfect way to celebrate the holiday. My kids are huge fans of oatmeal cookies. They’re chewy and crispy like oatmeal cookies should taste but have the addition of milk chocolate M&Ms for a burst of sweetness.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and in this house we keep things happy and lively. Lots of sweet homemade treats, hand written poetry and sweet notes and flowers. Lots of flowers!

My boys are learning about affection and love, two very important characteristics for the future and for happy marriages.

Back to the cookies! This traditional oatmeal cookie recipe simply swaps out the raisins and nuts for sweet Valentine colored M&Ms.
